Glad to see a couple guys mention U571. I always thought it was a bit under the radar.

A recent that is surprisingly enjoyable was Monuments Men.

I used to work at a plant where the shop electrician was a 35 year retired sailor; we was in subs his entire career and ended up Master Chief of the Pacific submarine fleet. He hated U571...

I liked the old Black and White movie "The Fighting Sullivans". The parents lost all of their sons on the same boat.

Catch 22, and on a serious note, Heart Break Ridge
Yeah, all of 'em! Any one mention "The Patriot" and "Shenandoah"?
The Devils Brigade was filmed around Utah, some in the Salt Lake Valley, where I lived. We used to ride our Trail 90s around the foothills and after they had done the movie there were places where they had built roads and left burned out military vehicles kind of in the middle of nowhere. It was pretty neat chugging along on a dirt road and going by a burned truck.

There is only one real favorite for me. Just because I spent many hours of my youth doing yard work for a fellow that was a commander of a U boat. ( and no he wasn't a wanna be, his service is documented on u boat.net) As he got older he did share quite a few story's.
Das Boot!!! The original directors uncut version which is 4 hours 53min runtime. It's like a whole other movie when watching this version. Explains allot of things not detailed in the 2hr theatrical version.
It can be found on Amazon pretty cheap.

Here's an excellent one for you guys: The Bridges at Toko Ri.

If you are at all interested in early jet carrier aircraft you won't find a better movie to see the early kerosene burners.
My all time favorite movie is The Thin Red Line.

Great acting, so stupid special effects, and they even have a P-39 Airacobra in some of the scenes.
